Scholes Feeling ‘loads Better’ After United Thrill At Last

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney was disappointed the team conceded “avoidable” goals in a 3-3 draw with Newcastle United on Tuesday night.

A second half penalty saw Newcastle draw level but Rooney fired his side into the lead with 79 minutes on the clock only for United to concede in the closing stages to deny them victory at St James’ Park.

And despite the setback of throwing away two points in the North East the Geordie forward also inists that Louis van Gaal’s side can still win the Premier League title.

“We had big chances for Lingard and Fellaini but we didn’t do that”. “No. We were unlucky in decisions of the referee and a deflected shot and we did not finish our chances”, van Gaal was quoted as saying by the British media on Tuesday. The Magpies claimed a point with a last-minute strike from Paul Dummett.

Manchester United have won their last three league games against Liverpool and after slipping to sixth in the table, they will be hoping to keep that run going on Sunday.

John added that Van Gaal can be a “weird guy the way he behaves with the press and in the after-match comments that he makes”.

“I expect positive play from Manchester United all the time, whether you’re at home or away”. He did it with goal and consciously, so that is a penalty.

“Then there was the heavyweight wrestling match between Mitrovic and Smalling, you can see Mitrovic pushing his head down and then you have to decide who is heavyweight champion. I can not understand that”.

“We’ve been going about our business quietly and brought two quality young players in”, he said. “You don’t realise what a monumental effort that is, to come back from 2-0 and 3-2, and to perform as we did”.

West Ham United moved above Manchester United into fifth place after coming from a goal down to win 3-1 at Bournemouth, Enner Valencia scoring twice for the London side. “You don’t realise what a monumental effort that is, to come back from 2-0 and 3-2, and to perform as we did”.
